  • Objectives: The objectives of this study are to introduce the development process of work situations and types in the revised regulations on wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) for hazardous chemical handlers, analyze the implementation of the regulations, and then provide basic data for future education strategies. Methods: The development process of work situations for regulation was explained through a flowchart by year. In 2018, a survey of 30 chemical managers and 201 managers and handlers was conducted based on recognition of work situations and the related regulations. In 2019, 91 chemical managers and 204 handlers were surveyed to find the degree of compliance with regulations, direction for improvement of understanding the regulations, and training methods. Results: Only 78.0% of chemical managers and 66.7% of handlers said they were aware of the regulations (p<0.05). Just 79.0% of handlers knowing the regulations said they would wear PPE in compliance with these regulations. Therefore, the best way to make workers wear proper PPE in accordance with regulations is to strengthen the promotion of education on regulations. In order to improve the quality of education, 51.7% of managers and 33.3% of handlers cited educational content (video, ppt, etc.) as the top priority. Conclusion: This study suggested that more educational opportunities should be provided and educational content should be developed in order for workers handling hazardous chemicals to wear PPE as prescribed in regulations.

  • In this paper, we survey recent trends of International Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) organizations such as the International Committee on GNSS (ICG), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Maritime Organization (IMO), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and investigate their impact on the maritime and aviation sectors. Each international organization promotes international cooperation, improvement of service quality, assurance of security, compliance with international regulations, and technological innovation and development. ICG develops a variety of satellite navigation enhancement systems. ICAO establishes international aviation regulations and standards to enhance aviation safety and security. IMO establishes international shipping conventions and rules to protect and regulate the shipping environment. Lastly, ITU establishes international communication regulations and standards. Investigation of such international organizations plays an important role in increasing the efficiency and reliability of GNSS systems. Each international organization promotes international cooperation, improvement of service quality, assurance of security, compliance with international regulations, and technological innovation and development. In the future, interoperability and compatibility with new satellite navigation systems and other GNSS and satellite navigation enhancement systems must be secured, so and thus investigation of international organizations must be conducted first.

  • To restore urban water cycle, it is necessary to improve domestic laws and regulations related to LID(Low Impact Development), which has been successfully applied to foreign countries. Thus, this study has intended to evaluate domestic legal systems related to space and environmental planning and to suggest directions to improve laws and regulations related to space and environmental planning toward extended application of LID in Korea. To reach this goal, this study has analyze the legal and institutional status of the foreign countries where LID has currently been applied, to derive the factors that laws and institutions are required to support LID based on the above analysis, to evaluate domestic laws and regulations related to space and environmental planning, and to suggest directions to improve the laws and regulations. After the evaluation, this study has found the following results. First, it was found that the concept and basic principles of LID and LID planning and associated methods were no longer mirrored in the space planning-related laws and regulations. However, these problems are not confined to LID, and result from thefailurein applying environmental planning to space planning overall. Second, it was revealed that the environmental planning-related laws and regulations defined the terminologies and targets of LID and suggested different measures to improve LID-related policies differently depending on the backgrounds ofenforcing thelaws and regulations and on environmental properties. Finally, this study has suggested the directions to improve laws and regulations related to space and environmental planning as follows. First, it is necessary to enact a law to support the extended application of LID. Second, the law to be enacted should be connected to laws, enforcement ordinances and regulations, and guidelines related to space planning. Third, environmental benefits provided by both structural and non-structural techniques of LID should be quantitatively measured.
